There's a chance Alec travelled to Canada and returned to the UK.  He possibly travelled around 1921.  I cannot view additional information.  Hopefully, someone will be able to help.

Martha was widowed by 1924, when she remarried.  I wonder if Dinah and Alec visited in 1921?  Perhaps Martha's husband died that year?  I wonder if any other family members came over (providing Dinah and Alec did actually visit, of course).

Thanks for that Lisa

I do not know when Martha's first husband died or where I am trying to look for that present.

Because Stier is spelled various ways, it might be a bit difficult, but here are some sites:

Some births, marriages, deaths (most of my rellies/ancestors are not listed, so it certainly is not yet a complete list)

It is getting quite late, so I have to stop for now.  I will check here again in the morning.  Sorry I have to leave.

I think I have managed to find Martha on the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid

there is a Martha McGuire Cemetery Mt Pleasant (Potter's Field) County York Township Toronto Reference is YK

If this is her what do I do with it and how do I find out date of death etc.

Is there a reason why you think she might be buried there?

[Candidiasia Ibberrson]

Well I thought Country meant where she was born i e York and she was living in Canada.  I am not sure if I have read it right then

I have ancestors buried in Mt. Pleasant.  While the staff was quite nice when I inquired about my ancestors, they couldn't provide too many answers.  Unfortunately, if Martha is buried there, it might be a bit difficult getting information.  Here is their site:
